Multimedia CDNs: What's the next step?

Tue August 27, 2002, Salle Polyvalente, 16h.30.

Chair/Moderator: Lisa Amini, IBM Research, USA

Organized: Lisa Amini, IBM Research, USA

Multimedia content delivery represents a unique opportunity for technology and service providers – unlike other content types, which are enhanced by delivery from servers positioned at the edge of the network, rich media requires edge delivery to attain reasonable user experiences.  While digital audio and video content brings additional complexities (very large objects, isochronous delivery, and interactivity), the advantages of edge delivery are exceptional.  Attributes making multimedia especially well-suited for edge delivery include: the need for Quality of Service (QoS) for an adequate user experience, write-once-read-many nature, high value to Content Providers, distribution and delivery revenue potential to Service Providers – especially for pervasive and wireless devices, the need for detailed usage statistics, and the potential for content services to adapt and protect multimedia assets are best offered through distributed techniques, to name a few. 

The technical advantages of Content Delivery Networks (CDN) for Internet accessible multimedia are obvious to most in the rich media community. Likewise, in the enterprise environment, e-Learning, collaboration, and corporate communications applications are driving requirements for enterprise CDN (e-CDN) technology.  To meet these demands, researchers and developers are racing to create innovative technology for a range of rich media services, including personalization, annotation, transcoding, rights management, filtering, and a host of other digital content "must-haves."  And yet, recent events have made it clear that the evolution of multimedia CDN’s is highly dependent on a variety of business, as well as technical, issues.

This panel brings key researchers who are creating multimedia distribution and delivery technology together with experts who are leading the deployment of next generation multimedia services. The goal of the panel is to explore, discuss, and come to a better understanding of the issues shaping the multimedia CDN space, including:

Panelists:

Dr. Mark Stuart Day is Senior Scientist at Cisco Systems, where he is technical lead for product management of Cisco's CDN products. He joined Cisco with the acquisition of SightPath in 2000.  Previously, he was at Lotus, where his work contributed to the creation of Lotus Sametime. In the IETF, Mark is co-chair of the working groups on Content Distribution Internetworking (CDI) and Instant Messaging and Presence Protocol (IMPP).  He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1995.

Dr. Minoru Etoh received the B.E. and M.S.E.E. degrees from Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan, in 1983 and 1985, respectively. He received the Ph.D. degree from Osaka University, Osaka, Japan, in 1993. In 1985 he joined the Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. From 1988 to 1990 he worked for the ATR Communication Systems Research Laboratories, the Advanced Telecommunication Research International, Kyoto. From 1991 to 1993, he was a Visiting Researcher at Osaka University. In the period of the ATR and Osaka University, he was involved in Computer Vision research. From 1994 to 1998, he was at the Central Research Laboratories of Matsushita Electric, and in the meantime he participated the MPEG-4 standardization. He was also Adjunct Professor of Nara Institute of Science and Technology from 1997 to 2000. After moving to Matsushita Research Institute of Tokyo in 1999, He joined Multimedia Laboratories of NTT DoCoMo, Inc., Yokosuka, May 2000. He currently works for NTT DoCoMo as Director of Signal Processing Laboratory and also serves as Adjunct Lecturer of Osaka University. He is now conducting the research groups in charge of audio, speech and video coding technologies, media delivery over mobile networks, MPEG, ITU-T, 3GPP, and W3C standardization activities. Dr. Etoh received the 1995 Best Paper Award of IEICE Japan, the 14th Telecom System Technology Prize of the Telecommunications Advancement Foundation(1998), the 7th Sakai Commemorative Prize of IPSJ(1998), respectively. He is a member of IEEE, IEICE, and IPSJ.

Dr. Emmanuel Gouleau has been involved within France Telecom R&D, the R&D labs of France Telecom, as an R&D engineer in several development projects related to the design of hosting architecture for multimedia streaming services since October 1997. Two kinds of architectures are currently considered, either centralized or distributed also called CDN. This implication can be described in two contexts with different timeframes. The first context is "short term" oriented. It consists in the evaluation of current industrial solutions for the key-components of a streaming hosting architecture: load balancing or redirection with L7 switches, caching and splitting with streaming caches, content management software. France Telecom business units expect from FTR&D some recommendations in defining the consistency between the services they want to offer and the industrial offer. The second context, "mid term" oriented, is the follow-on of industrial roadmaps and their relationship with standards design within MPEG and IETF. The main objective is to anticipate the future needs of France Telecom and give some feedback to the industrial manufacturers. A second working area in this context is the development of prototype in order to get a better understanding of the on-going developments of products and protocols.

Dr. John Martin is the chief network architect for Network Appliance, specializing generally in caching architectures and specifically in scalable deployment for ISP and telecom environments. He has a broad knowledge of Internet technologies and since 1995 has been working with various aspects of Web caching, a subject on which he has frequently presented at workshops and conferences. Prior to joining Network Appliance, Martin was working for the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association (TERENA) as chief technical officer, where he was responsible for initiating various pan-European Web cache projects including TF-CACHE, an initiative to promote the deployment of Web caching across European R&E networks. He also co-founded the Irish ISP UNITE Solutions Ltd., in 1994. Martin is well known within the industry and in March 1999 was co-chair of the programme committee for the 4th International Web Caching Conference held in San Diego and currently co-chairs the IETF Web Replication and Caching Working Group.

Prof. Keith W. Ross is a professor in the Multimedia Communications Department at Institut Eurecom, a research and graduate teaching institution in France.  Before joining Institut Eurecom, he was a professor in the Department of Systems Engineering at theUniversity of Pennsylvania from 1985 through 1997. Professor Ross has made significant research contributions to the theory and practice of computer networking throughout his career. These contributions include important papers in the areas of audio and video streaming, content distribution, quality of service, and traffic modeling of computer networks. His work on Web caching includes the co-development of the CARP protocol, which has been implemented in Microsoft and Netscape caching products. His current research focus is on peer-to-peer networking and content distribution networks. Professor Ross has written two books, including the textbook, "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet," co-authored with James Kurose, which has been adopted by over 200 universities in the US and is currently being translated into four languages. From July 1999 to July 2001, Professor Ross took a leave from Institut Eurecom to found and lead Wimba, an Internet technology start-up. Wimba develops Java-based streaming messaging technologies for the Internet.
